The leader of the opposition in the Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, obtained on Wednesday interim pre-arrest bail from a court in a case pertaining to land grabbing.

The PTI leader was booked by the Anti-Encroachment Force Zone I for allegedly illegally occupying 40 acres of state land near the Northern Bypass in the Manghopir area.

Sheikh filed an application with District and Sessions Judge (East) Abdul Hafeez Maitlo, who is also the presiding officer of the Special Court Sindh Public Property (Removal of Encroachment), seeking bail before arrest.

The legislator, along with PTI lawyers, including Riaz Effendi, Nasrullah Jamali and Abdul Rehman Mahesar, turned up in the court and claimed that a fabricated case had been registered against him at the instigation of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party.
